10 Questions...one answer. Energy.
You don't get it, the energy that is all is God.
We are all God. Plants, Rocks, Trees, Animals, Stars, Moon, Planets & Humans. All energy. All connected. Not seperate. It comes from within.
Blessed Be...

I'm neither... but I'll try to answer :P

1. Where did the space for the universe come from?
- Yet to find out. That's the beauty of modern science. You're always searching.


2. Where did matter come from?
- Read #1


3. Where did the laws of the universe come from (gravity, inertia, etc.)?
- Read #1


4. How did matter get so perfectly organized?
- Positive, negative, and neutral charges I supposse.


5. Where did the energy come from to do all the organizing?
- Already there in the matter according to modern science.


6. When, where, why, and how did life come from dead matter?
- We're made of the matter we stand on. It's just a simple case of proteins, etc. Not quite sure, gotta read up on this myself


7. When, where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself?
- Read #1, and any organisms, whether single celled or not, wants to be able to carry on. Thus reproduction. It's a fixed trait in the genes of every living organism. Have to read up on this as well...


8. With what did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction reproduce?
- When more complex organisms came to be through evolution. You adapt to fit your surroundings. Just like mountain people are slightly modified to fit their surroundings.


9. Why would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kind since this would only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of survival? (Does the individual have a drive to survive, or the species? How do you explain this?)
- Again, the goal is to maintain your species' existance. There is a balance in nature. We call it supply and demand. If there are too many mouths to feed and not enough food, then the species dies until it has adequete resources to sustain a certain level of life. Think of this as this. We have cheetah's and bison. There's a drought so the bison's dies. The Cheetah's don't have enough food to sustain their current population so they begin to die. The bisen get to a level where the current supplies of grass will sustain them now. The cheetah's also dieing out due to less bison are at a level where the bison adequetely feed them now. Equilibrium is met.
Basically you're going off the human example of where adaptation can occur anywhere, quickly and we have the advanced minds to adapt possibly any environment that can sustain life, and some that can't.


10. How can mutations (recombining of the genetic code) create any new, improved varieties? (Recombining English letters will never produce Chinese books.)
- Mutations are the altering of genetic code, not recombinations.

1. Where did the space for the universe come from?
Space is merely the expression of a vacuum between matter

2. Where did matter come from?
Matter arose from the primordial energy that created our universe.

3. Where did the laws of the universe come from (gravity, inertia, etc.)?
The laws of the universe are intrinsic to its existence. Other universes will have different laws.

4. How did matter get so perfectly organized?
It's not perfectly organized.

5. Where did the energy come from to do all the organizing?
Same force that started the universe.

6. When, where, why, and how did life come from dead matter?
It has to do with replicating polymers. It's very complicated. I think you need more than a high-school exposure to chemistry to comprehend it.

7. When, where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself?
It didn't need to learn, that's how it started. So naturally that's how it continued.

8. With what did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction reproduce?
Cells by themselves aren't capable of sexual reproduction. That came much later in multicellular organisms.

9. Why would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kind since this would only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of survival? (Does the individual have a drive to survive, or the species? How do you explain this?)
Because organisms die and have the urge to copulate. "Want" has nothing to do with it. What the animal "wants" is to perform the act of reproduction. All animals (except humans) have no idea that they are reproducing when they do it.

10. How can mutations (recombining of the genetic code) create any new, improved varieties? (Recombining English letters will never produce Chinese books.)
Again, this chemistry is very complicated. 99.9999% of mutations are harmful to the individual organism. But it's that little bit that is beneficial that makes all the difference over millions of years and billions of generations.

If you want to quibble over how the universe started and how life started, then call it God if you want to. But don't tell us to stop looking for other explanations simply because you like yours better than something else.

1. Big Bang
2. Big Bang
3. I don't know.
4. It's really not perfect at all.
5. This question makes no sense.
6. Abiogenesis
7. It didn't learn...
8. Asexual reproduction.
9. It would increase the chance of survival because without it the species would die out. V.V
10. Here's an example. There are blue colored bugs that are easy to spot. A mutation causes a bug to be brown and thus is hidden easier. The brown bug has a better chance to live and thus reproduces. Eventually only the brown bugs reproduce since the blue ones eventually die off due to not having good camoflauge.

This is off-topic and should be posted on the science section.

Some of the answer here are good and some are not.

As for reading a book on it, all those books read like the Bible, full of things that require "leaps of faith."

Evolution, for example, takes millions of years so no one living will ever be able to document it!

It won't be documented, in fact, for centuries!

Hundreds of Centuries!

Next, science does not necessarily SUBSCRIBE to a vaccum between things.

The Aeither theory still exists.

They are starting to call all this BLACK MATTER and WHITE MATTER.

SPACE is not nothing. Space is considered something and you can distort space!

That's a whole part of Relativity.

So don't think there NOTHING between the Earth and the Moon or the outer edge of our Solar System and Alpha Centauri

We suspect the universe is made up of lots of mass or matter.

This could be one reason why we can't travel the speed of light. MASS would generated friction even in deep space.

MASS shrinks and the world outside gets bigger.

Eventually atoms of Hydrogen are quite massive and block your path and slow you down.

Energy, such as Gamma Rays or Neutronios, pass right through Hydrogen as if it wasn't there.

That's how energy travels at light speed.

So don't think "space" is empty. A vacccum simple means there is no major gasses or liquids. That doesn't mean is void of energy or small praticles.

I was suprised to learn the Ether theory still exists. This is how, they specualte, white matter reflects light from the Big Bang.

As photones extend the event horizon of the Big Bang their light energy is rflected off of or energies the "ether" or "mass" of the universe and causes misty light. Beyond the event horizon there is black. Black matter. MAtter that knows no light, for no photons have passed there yet.

If there was literally "nothing" in space, there there could be no warping of space as Einstein says there is. Einstein says something like an Asteroid has enough gravity to warp space at that point. To cause the "fabric" of space or the Ether to bunch up and be dragged towards that gravity well.

If there is nothing in space but nothing, then there can be no warping.

You can only warp space if space is made out of something.

That is the Ether or Aeither theory.

Golly, you Agnostics and Atheists really have to read a book, even one of those theorteical books that requries a Leap of Faith.

The problem with Agnostics is most don't know their own works like Christains know the Bible.

The problem with Agnostics is there are like thousands of books to read, while there is only one Bible.

Christains have it easier!

You have to read Eistein, Plank, Hawkings, Hoyle and all the rest to fully undestand all the Leaps of Faith required for Science.

To say space is made of nothing is a theory, but it's not the widely accepted one. It is a minority theory and it would disprove Einstein and Einstein has been established well in other areas, such as the A BOMB.

Einstein's theories have far more crediblity and proofs than DArwin's. No one has yet to make a reality based on Darwin.

We made the A Bomb based on Einstein, we've measured stars off killter because of gravity wells from the sun and we've measured ATomic clocks in orbit and at rest. All those things bared out what Einestein say would happen.

It is doubtful Darwin will be proven in our lifetime. IT is doubtful Darwin will be proven in the next 10 centuries. Maybe in 100 centuries, then again maybe not. He may be purged from the books like Pluto was!

Anyway, get your science righter!

Everyone quotes their high school teaher's apprasal. Few here have done as much research as the Christians in their own books.

A few people here say Science changes it's mind for year to year. Bravo. You at least undestand that much about it!

The ultimate fact remains that SCIENCE says everything including ALL OF YOU was an ACCIDENT. It was serendipty. It was lucky throw of the dice.

Einstein, the leading thinker, once said: "God doesn't play craps!"

Religion says it was created with willful intent. You are here because your mommy and daddy wanted you, not because the rubber broke.

Good going - this is perhaps the first step in understanding life. Before Galileo made a telescope and proved that earth is a sphere all humans believed that earth is flat. Its impossible to answer these questions before human increase thier knowledge base substantially and its gonna take time. just because we cant explain some things does not mean that we attribute it to God. The early man used to worship everything from a tree to a river to sun but look we have changed with time when we understood the dynamics of our surroundings.

I took a direction reported as "Sexual Ethics" in a Catholic Seminary. The prof held a panel communicate on homosexuality with a Roman Catholic canon criminal professional, an Anglican priest, and a United Church of Canada minister. We additionally appeared on the subject rely in college. in certainty, for Catholics, homosexuality is a no flow. At one time, celibate gay priest have been ordained yet, I understand that's no longer the case. An infertile right this moment couple can marry, as miracles can take place. Abram, and Sarai had little ones very overdue in existence (ninety's, or something like that) - they became Abraham, and Sarah afterwards. John the Baptists mom and dad have been additionally very previous. and so on. the belief is that if God wills it, and infertile couple would have little ones. A gay couple would desire to no longer. And, for Christians frequently, Catholics lined, gay intercourse is formally a no-no besides, inspite of the certainty that no longer all denominations settle for this concept, inspite of the certainty that that's an rather modern-day progression in case you seem in any respect of Christian history. lower back to the class - the Canon criminal professional became into NO, the United Minister became into definite, and the Anglican, as familiar, became into someplace in between. (I say this as an Anglican, so, no longer slagging the Anglicans - it occurs to be a rely lots decrease than communicate for us, with good arguments on the two aspects of the project).

Questions 1 to 10:

My answer: I don't know or care. It doesn't make any difference to me. Even if there is no known answer to them (which I don't know, anyway) doesn't mean that the answer IS God made everything. Science hasn't proved everything and it probably never will, but that doesn't mean I have to believe in God. There is no use in believing in God, just because it has the answers to these questions, first of all, because I don't need the answers (that's an instilled need) and secondly, because accepting god because it has these answers would be like marrying a person you don't love, just because s/he has a lot of money.

Where did god come from ?

Space matter is a fact, I can see rocks, I can see the sun.
I can go on the web and read about stars being born.

So I don't know all the hows and whys. <--- That's no accuse to be lazy and gullible enough to fall for the whole:

The invisible god made it. We have these books found in the caves to read about it. <---You mine as well be worshiping the Greek gods. ( No offense to anyone that does ).

Where did this invisible person in the sky come from? Where'd he get all his super powers?

You know what's great about science? It doesn't claim to know all the answers. Religion on the other hand does.
